Problem solved. Thanks everybody!!!

I am running a kaaz 1.5way with 255 Toyo R1R.

the driving experience is AMAZING.

I took it up to big bear to test it out and the drive up was epic.

A diff will change the way the car puts the power to the ground and in the case of a 1.5 or 2 way change the corner entry characteristics of the car as well, if setup properly take advantage of the grip that's available. A 1.5 way would be the way to go for a track car. Depending on power levels and setup it could be setup for your application based on power and driving style. Here's a good article to read.

Then this one goes more in depth.

It doesn't appear as if you got much help here. You should have posted in the "tracking/autox/hpde" subforum.

The Torsen LSD in this car is quite good and due to the nature of its function it actually works better when you throw bigger/grippier tires at the rear end. However, the Torsen LSD won't distribute power when a tire is in the air or on an extremely slippery surface (oil/snow and water to an extent).

If you like the way the Torsen LSD ramps up, it's smooth application but you want a greater distribution of load between the axles and you want to eliminate it's short coming when a tire is airborne then you should consider a WAVETRAC rear differential. It's a mechanical worm gear LSD (torsen style) with internal ramp plates that still provide lock up when a wheel is lifted. It's literally the best of both worlds.

The other option that works really well is to go for a clutch plate LSD that is 1.5 way. Typically the Clutch Plate LSD's are going to provide a higher percentage of torque distribution vs an OEM torsen option. They also remained locked when a tire is airborne and with a 1.5 way you get the full percentage of lock under accel and 50% of lock (or thereabouts) under decel which can help with balance.

If you are a track-only setup or you don't care about a little chatter at low speed daily driving than I would say go for a 1.5way Clutch Plate setup like Cusco or KAAZ.

Thanks for the input. Should've posted in there. Thanks!! Very helpful.

Beating the dead horse some more, unless you're lighting up the inside tire when putting power down exiting a corner a different LSD isn't going to do a single thing to improve grip.

If you have too stiff of a RSB you can end up three wheeling and as soon as the inside tire gets too light you'll send all the power to it. If that's your issue, then a clutch or hybrid LSD will help, but the real issue there is too stiff of a RSB, not the LSD.

I think there was a lot of feedback but its more of a XY problem(That is, you are trying to solve problem X, and you think solution Y would work, but instead of asking about X when you run into trouble, you ask about Y.) he just wanted more grip(from what i could tell) and there are plenty of better and cheaper ways to get that instead of just getting a new LSD. and the "I was TOLD" kinda of brought the need of a LSD in question, he could have been told by someone that didn't know the car already had one for all we knew.

more information of why would have really helped get to the answer was best not just an info dump on LSD's. I am still really curious what solved his solution and what the real cause of the problem was.

To us os giken is unbeatable.

quiet for the street and perfect lockup for the track.

Its pricey but definitely worth it.
